Say that Musk and his 19-24 yr olds have access to ALL OF THE FINACIAL INFO and $$$ illegally!!!- they don’t have security clearances!!!! You’re telling a small part of the story!!!!!
What are you doing to expose Elon Musk and his 6 data miners' for breaching the OPM, GSA and Federal payments systems? This is a coup. Where are the reporters?
China will see this as a big opportunity to supplant the US in the application of soft power. Who can blame nations in opening their doors to the Chinese as the Americans close theirs.
Washington, D.C., U.S. Among the many positive accomplishments by USAID over the course of its history was to help bring an end to apartheid in South Africa through peaceful means. Elon is doing this as revenge. WAKE UP!!! Report on this. We know what is going on here.
CNN does not report on the illegality of these acts because it is to their benefit to lie to the American citizens about the state of the rule of law in this country. They don't want you to benefit from your legal rights and protections, but they want to keep theirs. Perfidious traitors
BLOG: There is method behind the revamp of US government agencies; it is part of a much broader objective of state capture by Trump, Musk, and their allies. South Africa is a great example how state capture works. Read on: https://www.jandehn.com/post/elon-musk-s-gift-to-the-us-state-capture
Can you also report that this is unconstitutional, a coup, that Elon Musk now has control of ALL of our intelligence operations and information that exists and operates within USAID. This is the most dangerous thing that has ever happened. REPORT it.
You would think that if Trump, is one tenth as smart as he thinks he is, he would be for the contraceptives for Gaza. Imagine thousand, and thousands of Palestinians wouldn't be born. Well he will be 80 years old next year, and with his Dementia, and all his mental problems. Sad Very Sad
Democrats are holding a presser right now. What are you broadcasting? tRUMP signing papers & telling more lies. Shame of you for not airing the Democratic presser. I guess c-span is going to have to be my source for real news for now.
The USAID agency is codified in law and requires a 60 percent majority in the Senate to remove. Trump is violating law and breaching national security with the significant data breaches Musk has done. We need to initiate impeachment procedures now.
Congress passed the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, which authorized the creation of a centralized foreign aid agency.
President John F. Kennedy issued Executive Order 10973 on November 3, 1961, to officially organize USAID and consolidate various foreign assistance programs under one agency.
I also saw a reproductive freedom (prochoice) press conference earlier on Fox Live. I’m finding more balance on that channel weirdly. I keep checking the station.
Yeah, we watch it on Roku. My husband turned it on and I used to complain, but it’s more fair than CNN. It’s just news, and long segments, a bit like c-span. My only regret is supporting the crappy owners. We watch Fox soccer, so I guess that’s the same.
Hey @cnn.com no coverage of the press conference by ELECTED OFFICIALS @ USAID? It was at 1 pm……no wonder we are in this mess with lazy pandering journalism
I am flabbergasted at the lack of accurate reporting: the overtaking of the Treasury (illegal), the mass firings of attorneys general and FBI, (illegal), the illegal shutdown if USAID, and so many more. This is urgent and you all are AWOL. You are abdicating your responsibility. It is shameful.
"The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"
I've seen hand-painted rocks on African roads- "THANKS to the US" - for the aid that helped people to build, with their own bare hands, a rough farm to market road. USAID serves not only their needs but also our own need as Americans to be true to values we claim to hold.
Yazidi people, displaced by ISIS in Iraq, told me to say "thank you" to American friends for shelter, fuel & safe places for their children. Vulnerable people around the world know USAID serves not only their needs but also our own need as Americans to be true to values we claim to hold.
CNN- your reporting is abysmal . You "forgot" to say that dismantling this agency is illegal if done any other way other than by an act of congress. REAL journalists report true facts
You're nothing but Shitler's Nazi state media now. What crap CNN is now.
You are a fraudulent news agency. You are ignoring the takeover of our government by the executive branch. Why did you not cover the Democrats trying to get into US Aid?
You are bought and sold to the administration. Shame on you!
It’s called a coup you fucking quislings. Elon is not a government official and he now has Americans, social security numbers, bank info and Medicaid numbers.
It goes back to Mitch McConnell not impeaching and Kevin McCarthy grovelling on his knees to kiss the ring at Mar-a-lago and begging Trump to be his daddy again.
Come on men, do better , “Be Best” for Melanie. Maybe she can negotiate with Trudeau, she looked like she liked him a lot, I mean a lot
Project 2025 in action folks. Almost everything outlined in that plan is coming true. Americans need not apply. You will only have a say now if you are a "loyalist" to Trump.
If this is true then Marco Rubio has the responsibility to block anyone and everyone from access to classified information until they are cleared with the necessary vetting.
Massive press conference in front of USAID building by Democrats demanding answers for this illegal nonsense Musk is pulling, and the havoc he's causing.
So soft power, which China is using very well, is not good anymore? I guess instead of the US vaccinating children, they will force children to bow down to the US or else?
I'm curious as to why #CNN you fail the state that what is occurring with USAID is blatantly illegal and constitutional? Only congress can stand-down or dismantle any department or agency.
Trump/GOP/Musk is terminating governmental charity! The richest nation on planet earth without a charity element within its government. That sounds like multibillionaire Trump who also has no charity! His small charity was forced to end because of FRAUD!
That’s like appointing the least qualified person to burn the house down while Musk and Trump kick back and watch the flames. If they wanted to destroy international aid, they couldn't have picked a better stooge.
Under the leadership of Trump and Musk who seem to enjoy it: how many millions of people around the world have had nothing to eat. Let's say yesterday alone?
Interesting times ahead! It seems like the future of international aid might soon look very different. Wonder how this will affect ongoing initiatives and global partnerships?
It's a further attempt to impose an autocracy in America by controlling the funding authorized by Congress for internal poltical purposes. It further makes USAID a poltical tool instead of a humanitarian undertaking, thereby losing credibility.
I would strongly advise any US citizens thinking of travelling outside the USA for the foreseeable future to be prepared for an inhospitable welcome - and don’t think to hide behind our Canadian flag, either!
We're trying!😭 But he controls all 3 branches of the govt and the Dems in Senate and House are NOT fighting back. tRump actually treating to use armed U.S. military (NOT legal) on Americans in response to peaceful protest. Kent State/"4 Dead in Ohio" redux is my fear, at least.
Never in my life have I been more thankful to be a dual citizen. We deserve everything that's coming to us. And unfortunately, it's looking like interference is going to have to come from the outside because I dont know that we can stop it at this point. So bring it on Canada and grab your friends!
Don’t be so proud of yourself Marco. When they haul your a___s to jail, you’ll be right there beside them. You’re just another dumb pawn. You know you’re not white?

MAGAs will start shooting politicians.
Fox will say....some shit.
CNN will.....fuck it.
CNN hasn't reported real journalism for years.
They have bent the knee and will never be truthful with us because they want Trump to succeed.
Turn them OFF. Do not go to their website. Delete their app.
#boycottCNN
